Looking at the odds, I doubt MC will get it, 33/1. Danny Cowley is 5/4 favourite, although doubt he'll jump ship with Wembley on the horizon, the likes of Simon Grayson and Garry Monk are up there in the betting and they would seem far more likely choices, out of work and experienced in the Championship.

Wouldn't begrudge Coops a move up if they come in for him though.

Losing Cooper mid-season would be very disruptive for us. Lindsay might be able to take over temporarily but the upward curve of the season - just about discernable following the last 5-6 games - would probably stall. If MC keeps us up he will have done well this season and I'd like to see how the story with him works out.

As has been said, there are other candidates but MC must have a lot of contacts in that part of the world. I hope he stays.

The situation at Barnsley and Leeds may be disruptive for Jordan Stevens too. I hope he catches the eye of Heckingbottom.

Pinnock (and Moore) will probably be ok at Barnsley - Pinnock is class for anyone.

MC won't go - he knows which side his butter is spread. He is paid too much money by us to join a non-discript club going nowhere fast. I suggest we have no worries with this thread. Some other failed journeyman on the managerial merry-go-round will apply and get it.
